The Experience

Before You Go

Wear secure, closed‑toe shoes

Trails can be rocky and horses spend time in shallow surf—shoes that strap on will protect feet and stay put when wet.

Pack a small waterproof bag

Bring a phone and ID but keep them dry during the swim and zipline with a compact dry pouch.

Hydrate and pace yourself

The day is long (5–7 hours) with sun exposure—drink water before arrival and carry a reusable bottle if allowed.

Declare medical limits and pregnancy

Operators require notification for pregnancy, spine or heart conditions—safety briefings are strict for harnessed activities.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask to stop at a small roadside jerk stand for fresh fruit and local snacks
  • Look for short viewpoints where the reef drops off—good for photos without crowds

Wildlife

  • Brown pelican
  • Green iguana

Conservation Note

Stick to marked trails and avoid feeding or approaching wildlife; reefs nearby are sensitive—use reef‑safe sunscreen and avoid stepping on coral.

Montego Bay’s shoreline and nearby settlements grew from colonial trade routes; local culture reflects African, European and Maroon influences in music, food and craft traditions.
